Mr. Lucky.

The tongue-in-cheek humor is quite delightful. And, as someone who was a fan of The Wild Wild West when I was a young ‘un, I quite enjoy watching Ross Martin in this earlier role.

I’m watching it on Tubi, but, given the proliferation of streaming “services,” you can likely find it in other places.

Nurturer of Narcissism? 0

Jennifer Gerlach, writing at Psychology Today Blogs, reports on a recent study that seems to confirm that “social” media isn’t.

A study of 23,532 people explored possible relationships between self-esteem, narcissistic personality traits, and social media use. Of interest, low self-esteem and narcissistic personality traits are both correlated with high levels of social media engagement (Andreassen et al., 2017).

Follow the link for her thoughts on the matter.

And remember, you don’t use “social” media. “Social” media companies use you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
